Abstract
An optical fiber unit includes: a first optical fiber ribbon that intermittently connects a first plurality of optical fibers; a second optical fiber ribbon that intermittently connects a second plurality of optical fibers; and interlayer connection parts that intermittently connect the first optical fiber ribbon and the second optical fiber ribbon in a length direction while the first optical fiber ribbon and the second optical fiber ribbon are layered and arranged. The first optical fiber ribbon and the second optical fiber ribbon are layered and arranged such that optical fibers having a same fiber number of the first optical fiber ribbon and the second optical fiber ribbon are aligned in a up-down direction perpendicular to the length direction.
